Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a digital system for guiding makeup and contouring applications on a user's face using facial measurements and proportional guidelines. The system addresses the challenge of achieving precise and aesthetically balanced makeup application by leveraging real-time facial analysis and geometric proportions. The method involves capturing a frontal image of a person's face, including key facial features such as the nose base, chin tip, cheeks, nostrils, irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows. An electronic utility displays this image on a screen, allowing users to compare their face with the reference image. The system provides feedback and guides users in applying makeup or contouring. A software application on a computer device uses a camera to generate facial measurements in real-time, analyzing the face using a facial measurement engine. These measurements inform users about the optimal application of cosmetics tailored to their individual facial structure. The system evaluates the user's makeup application against predefined recommendations, assigning a score to indicate adherence to the guidelines. The method employs geometric proportions, such as the golden ratio, to determine guide lines for contouring. A first distance is measured from the nose base to the chin tip, and a guide line is drawn on the cheek at this distance to demarcate a contouring limit. A second guide line is formed at a golden ratio proportion of the first distance, defining another contouring boundary. The area between these lines is designated for contouring. Additional guide lines are drawn from the center of the lips to the ends of the eyes and across the forehead, with further lines parallel to these to define areas for highlighting or contouring.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a digital makeup and contouring system that uses facial measurements and proportional guidelines to assist users in applying cosmetics. The system addresses the challenge of achieving balanced and aesthetically pleasing makeup application by leveraging real-time facial analysis and predefined proportional rules. The method involves capturing a frontal image of a person's face, including key facial features such as the nose, chin, cheeks, nostrils, eyes, eyebrows, and ears. An electronic utility displays this image on a screen, allowing users to compare their face with a reference image. Users then apply makeup or contouring while receiving real-time feedback and comparisons.

These measurements provide real-time data on the user's makeup application, guided by a makeup and contouring recommendation engine. The system evaluates the user's performance and delivers a score based on adherence to recommended techniques. The system also employs proportional guidelines derived from facial measurements. For example, it calculates distances between key facial landmarks, such as the base of the nose and the center of the lips, to determine optimal makeup application zones. A guide line is generated at a golden ratio proportion relative to these distances, demarcating the upper limit for lip makeup. Additional guide lines extend from the center of the lips toward the ends of the eyes and over the forehead, while another line runs parallel to these guides to define a forehead contouring area. These visual aids help users apply makeup symmetrically and proportionally.

Original Legal Text

21. A method comprising: providing a frontal image of a person's face, including a base of the person's nose, tip end of the chin, cheeks, nostrils, eyes including irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows; determining on the image a first distance extending in length from a point at the base of the nose to the tip end of the chin; creating, forming and drawing a first physical guide line on the image of one of the cheeks at a radius from the iris of the person's closest eye to the one cheek substantially equal to the first distance; the first physical guide line being used to demarcate a first limit for the application of contouring on the one cheek; determining on the image a second distance being less than the first distance and being at the golden ratio proportion relative to the first distance and creating, forming and drawing a second physical guide line on the image of the one cheek at a radius substantially at the golden ratio distance; the second physical guide line being used to demarcate a second limit for the application of contouring on the one cheek; the area between the two physical lines being demarcated for the application of contouring; applying and using a physical facial stencil on the person's face with a physical cut out to relate to the first and second physical guide lines determined from the image, the stencil having at least one of a peripheral physical outline including a physical straight edge or a physical straight line for location relative the face, the physical straight edge or the physical straight line being for location substantially horizontally or vertically relative to the face when contouring is to be applied to the face, such that the face and the physical stencil are aligned in a correct vertical sense with each other when the physical lines for contouring are demarcated; and applying makeup to the person's face to represent and shape the contouring using the physical stencil with physical cut out and the first physical guide line and the second physical guide line related to the first and second guide lines with the stencil straight edge or straight line located relative the face and the straight edge or the straight line being located substantially horizontally or vertically relative to the face when contouring is to be applied to the face, such that the face and the stencil are aligned in a correct vertical sense with each other when the contouring is applied.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a method for applying facial contouring makeup using precise anatomical measurements and guide lines. The method addresses the challenge of achieving symmetrical and proportionally accurate facial contouring by leveraging a person's facial features to determine optimal application areas. A frontal facial image is analyzed to identify key anatomical landmarks, including the base of the nose, chin tip, cheeks, nostrils, irises, supraorbital margins, ears, and eyebrows. A first distance is measured from the base of the nose to the chin tip, and a first guide line is drawn on the cheek at a radius equal to this distance from the iris of the closest eye. This line demarcates the outer limit for contouring. A second, shorter distance is calculated using the golden ratio relative to the first distance, and a second guide line is drawn at this radius to define the inner limit. The area between these lines is designated for contouring. A physical stencil with a cutout corresponding to these guide lines is then applied to the face, aligned using a straight edge or line positioned horizontally or vertically for proper orientation. Makeup is applied within the stencil's boundaries to achieve precise contouring. The method ensures accurate and consistent facial contouring by combining anatomical measurements with proportional aesthetics.
